• It should be “a little while” here, not merely a while. A while might seem of some duration — He shortens it. You have need of patience “a little while,” says Paul (Heb. 10:37); you must suffer “a little while,” says Peter. (“Exhortations” by W.T.P. Wolston)
• It is not merely the God of the promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but the God of all overcoming love as manifested in Christ Jesus, superior to, not weakness and failure alone, but the hatred of the enemy seemingly successful to the uttermost in the cross, which His grace turned to be the ground of deep and righteous judgment of sin, yea, making them, the believers, now as spotless in His eyes as the Lamb, through His precious blood. (“1 Peter 5:8-11” by W. Kelly)
• It is much that He will "perfect" those who in themselves lack all, in the sense of a complete furnishing and adjustment. It is more that He will "stablish" those who need to be turned inside out, as Peter once in his self-confidence, to lean on Himself and His word by faith. It is precious that He will "strengthen" those that know themselves as weak as water spilled on the ground, and changeable as the wind. It is if possible more, that He will "ground" on the Rock that never moves, those who learn deeply their nothingness (“1 Peter 5:8-11” by W. Kelly)
• It is through suffering in faith and patience that we are disciplined and bear fruit to Him who deigns thus to prune the branches of the vine. (“1 Peter 5:8-11” by W. Kelly)
• {v.10-11} the Apostle explained these sufferings on the principles of the divine government, with regard especially to the relation of Christians with God, as being His house, whether those sufferings were for righteousness’ sake or for the name of the Lord. It was but for a time. The Christian’s hope was elsewhere. (“1 Peter 5” by J.N. Darby)
• Are we conscious of needing grace in an infinite variety of ways? Well, He is the God of all grace. The powers of the world and the devil may be against us, but He has called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, and nothing shall frustrate His purpose. (“1 Peter 5” by F.B. Hole)

WK Translation Notes

a
The RV rightly gives "you" for "us," as the context shows, in confirmation of the best external authority.
b
It is "shall," not the optional as in T. R., with a few MSS. of slight account to support the text.
